  • 1 Women Conductors: Credibility in a Male-Dominated Profession KAY LAWSON
    1 Women Conductors: Credibility in a Male-Dominated Profession KAY LAWSON At one time the mere suggestion that a woman is capable and more than qualified to lead an orchestra would have brought exclamations of disbelief, perhaps even chuckles muffled behind a discreet hand to the mouth. The nineteenth-century "beau ideal" of the conductor as the musical world's flamboyant, handsome cult hero continues to prevail even today in the minds of audiences, thus making it difficult for conductors not in that mold to gain prominence. Recent attention accorded women conductors might give the impression that they are a phenomenon of the twentieth century, but this is clearly not the case. Tracing the historical path of conducting to its source, we find that modem conducting may have had its beginnings in the convent of St. Vito, a nunnery renowned for its musical performances. Bottrigari, in his publication of 1594, Il Desiderio, described a performance given there: A long table has been prepared, at one end of which is a large clavicembalo, you would see them enter one by one, quietly bringing their instruments, either stringed or wind. They all enter quietly and approach the table without making the least noise and place themselves in the proper place, and some sit, who must do so in order to use their instruments, and others remain standing. Finally, the Maestra of the concert sits down at one end of the table; and with a long, slender and well-polished wand (which was placed there ready for her, because I saw it) and when all the other sisters are clearly ready, gives them without noise, several signs to begin, and then continues by beating the measure of time which they must obey in singing and playing.' Most historical references to the earliest examples of musical leadership in­ dicate that a group of performers was kept together by a leader who beat time by hand or by pounding with a stick.

SUMMER 1989 (gMMENTARY The Problem That Affects Us All We as a nation have achieved the dubious distinction of being one of the most illiterate nations in the Western world: 58 million adult Americans are functionally illiterate beyond an eighth-grade level. Illiteracy affects us all, through our businesses, our families, or our quality of life, for illiteracy is evidenced in virtually every ethnic, geo­ graphic, and financial group of our country. The first step is to make a disbelieving populace aware of what we face as a nation and as individuals. The U.S. Department of Labor estimates that adult illiteracy costs society $225 billion annually in lost produc­ tivity, unrealized tax revenue, welfare, crime, poverty, and related social ills. Some 700,000 of our youth who do graduate from high school each year show insufficient basic skills and literacy competency levels, yet over 85 per­ cent of all new jobs created within the next 10 years will require a minimum of a 12th-grade education.

Troyer evidently requested that Schubert model the work on Beethoven's famous Septet for winds and strings (Opus 20; composed 1799), which at that time was still the most popular of all of Beethoven's instrumental works, far outdistancing the symphonies and concertos. Schubert followed instructions, mimicking the older master's work so closely in I jm mm:'-*. ?wr fSm^BBm scoring, layout of movements, and musical character that this must have been obvious to everyone who heard the piece and they would have enjoyed it all the more for that very reason.

  • Beverly Sills Opera Soprano, Arts Executive ( 1929 – 2007 )
    Beverly Sills Opera soprano, arts executive ( 1929 – 2007 ) Sills was born and raised in Brooklyn. At age four, she performed professionally on the radio as “Bubbles” Silverman, but soon changed her name to Beverly Sills. Using that name, she was a winner on CBS Radio’s Major Bowes’ Amateur Hour in 1939. In 1947, she made her operatic stage debut in Bizet’s Carmen in Philadelphia, and, in Oc- tober 1955, she first appeared with the New York City Opera. Her reputation expanded with her performance of the title role in the New York premiere of DOUGLAS STUART MOORE’s The Ballad of Baby Doe in 1958 [editor’s note: a concert version of the opera was performed at the Century on March 31, 1957]. In 1956, Sills married journalist Peter Greenough and had two children. In 1960, Sills and her family moved near Boston, and in 1962, Sills sang the title role in Massenet’s Manon with the Opera Company of Boston, the first of many roles for opera director Sarah Caldwell. In 1966, the New York City Opera revived Handel’s then virtually unknown opera Giulio Cesare and Sills’ performance as Cleopatra made her an international opera star. Sills also made her “unofficial” Met debut in its “Opera in the Parks” program, though noth- ing further came of this other than offers for minor roles from RUDOLF BING. In 1969, Sills sang Zerbinetta in the American premiere (in a concert version) of the 1912 version of Richard Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos with the Boston Symphony. Her performance garnered high praise.
